Fall 2017 (main lecture) sections for CS 111

The Computer Science (CS) Department is offering two sections of CS 111, an introductory course targeting students who have no (or very little) previous programming experience. All three sections cover the same topics with slight variations in the subject matter. You can sign up for any section (that has open seats). Both have their main lecture at the same time, Tuesday and Thursday, 12:30-1:45

Intro to CS + Green. CRN 40304. (This course!) CS Instructor: Sloan

This section and programs will be about biology, ranging from DNA and genes to population dynamics and evolution. The course will be team taught by a CS Professor and a Biological Sciences professor (Poretsky) and will include substantial introductory biology content. Programming language- Python.

Traditional. CRN 34656. Exclusive (CS) Instructor: Taylor

This section will take its examples from digital media, especially image and sound files. Programming language- Python.

Students who are outside the College of Engineering and not considering a Computer Science major are extremely welcome to join CS 111 or may wish to check out the somewhat similar (but less intense) course CS 100.
